To use a Config CFC, would I hard-code the settings variables in the

Yeah.
What would be the benefit of this approach over including a
settings file in onApplicationStart() and/or onRequest()?
Including a file has overhead (reading the file from disk), where as accessing
an application var. is just reading memory.
You might want to benchmark it though, to see if it really makes much of a
difference (after all, if it's included often, it'll be in the disk cache).
Or compiled with the other template, or of course you can check to see
if the parameters have been defined, and only include it if not. I
wouldn't suspect this to be an issue at all, but I've been known to be
wrong on occasion. =)
